Charles Barkley shows up to Minnesota in perfect hat

Charles Barkley showed up to Minnesota in a perfect hat.

Barkley recorded a video for the NBA on TNT that was shared to the show’s X account on Wednesday. The TNT analyst was wearing a hat that said “BRING YA A–” on it.

“Bring yo a–,” Barkley said in the video. “We here.”

Chuck is in the building 😂🙌

The hat and message from the video refer to a great exchange between Barkley and Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards on Sunday. Edwards had led his Timberwolves to a Game 7 win over the Denver Nuggets to reach the Western Conference finals. TNT was televising Game 7 and is also televising the Western Conference finals. Barkley had told Edwards he hadn’t been to Minnesota in about 20 years. Edwards had a great response — “bring ya a–,” Edwards told Chuck.

The quote from Edwards went viral and has been embraced by Minnesota. Barkley is also embracing it.
